Bond & insurance on file

Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.

How these rates are calculated

Period: Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Missouri average covers 51,989 vehicle and 91,637 driver inspections of all Missouri-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile ↗ · SAFER snapshot ↗

Questions about JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC

Is JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC a broker or a carrier?

JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC is a freight broker with no active authority to haul freight itself. It may arrange loads with authorized carriers, but should not be dispatching its own trucks under this docket. Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.

What does JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC's operating authority allow?

MC1443404: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe.

What should I verify before booking JOHNSTONS LOZ TRANSPORT LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3910578. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (805) 296-2450, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1443404 or FF68547, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.
